When you choose Insert > Model Datum > Plane from the menu bar or Datum Plane
Tool button from the Datum toolbar, the DATUM PLANE dialog box is displayed with
the different options to create datum planes.
When you are defining the offset DATUM AXIS dialog box
distances, there are three drag
handles that are available on the
model as shown in figure.
Figure C Datum axis passing through the Figure D Datum axis passing through
datum point and normal to the plane a cylinder
• Datum axis passing through the edge formed by two faces
The Through constraint is used to create a datum axis passing through the edge
where two planes meet or at the intersection edge of two faces or datum planes, see
Figure E.
Figure E Datum axis created on the Figure F Datum axis created between
edge where the two faces meet the two selected vertices
• Datum axis tangent to a curve and passing through its vertex
The Tangent and Through constraints create a datum axis tangent to a curve and
passing through one of its vertex, see Figure G.
Figure B Datum point on the top face Figure C The three highlighted surfaces and the
with offset 0 and the three drag handles datum point at the intersection of the three surfaces
• Datum point on a vertex
The On constraint is used to create a datum point on the vertex of a face, an edge, a
surface feature edge, or a datum curve.

model of the model with dimensions
a. The model is composed of four features: two at the top, one at the bottom, and
one hole on the right surface. Also, from the model it is evident that the two
features at the top of the model can be created on the same plane.
b. Select the sketching plane for the base feature, draw the sketch using the
sketching tools, apply the dimensions and constraints (Figure C), and then
extrude the sketch to the given distance (Figure D).

c. Select the sketching plane for the feature that is at the bottom of the base
feature. Draw the sketch using the sketching tools, apply the dimensions and
constraint (Figure E), and then extrude the sketch to the given distance
(Figure F).
Figure E Sketch for the second feature Figure F Second extruded feature
d. Draw the sketch of the third feature, apply the dimensions and constraints
(Figure G), and then extrude it to the given distance (Figure H).
Figure G Sketch for the third Figure H Model after creating the third
feature feature
e. Similarly, select a sketching plane for the cut feature. The cut has a circular
section. Draw the sketch for this feature (Figure I) and create the cut
feature (Figure J ).
Figure A Isometric view of the model Figure B Drawing views of the model
a. First, examine the model and then determine the number of features in it. The
model is composed of four features: one at the bottom (base feature), one on
the left, and two at the back. Also, from the model it is evident that the two
features on the back face of the model can be created on the same plane.
b. Select the sketch plane for the base feature, draw the sketch using the sketching
tools, apply the dimensions and constraints (Figure C), and then extrude the
sketch to the given depth (Figure D).
Figure C Sketch for the base feature Figure D Base feature of the model
c. Select the sketch plane for the feature on the left face of the base feature,
draw the sketch using the sketching tools, apply dimensions and constraints
(Figure E), and then extrude the sketch to the given depth (Figure F).

a. The model is composed of three features: one on the left (base feature), one in
the middle, and one hollow cylindrical feature with a hole.
b. Select the sketch plane for the base feature, draw the sketch using the
sketching tools, apply the dimensions and constraints (Figure C), and then
extrude the sketch to the given depth (Figure D).
Figure E Sketch of the middle feature Figure F Model with the second
extruded feature
d. To create the hollow cylindrical feature, create a datum plane on the fly. Draw
the sketch, apply the dimensions and constraints (Figure G), and then
extrude the sketch to the given depth (Figure H).
